Question

After doing some research I found a pdf that includes a ton of useful information about drugs commonly used in the critical care setting from the University of Colorado School of Medicine. I felt confident in my choice to use this website because it is from a college and the printout provided, is used for teaching medical students. I feel like this printout can be very useful to the department because it is easy to read, can be easily made accessible to personnel, and can be used as a backup any time anybody has any questions. Another source that I found that is more particular to the drug, Nitroglycerin, breaks down everything that there is needed to know about Nitroglycerin. When giving Nitroglycerin, an infusion pump is highly recommended to be used when giving this medication because dosages need to be precise. The initial dose of nitroglycerin should be 5mcg/mL. Titration should begin at increases of 5mcg/mL every 3-5 minutes until the desired effect is reached. (DailyMed, n.d.) If health care providers do not see an improvement in the patient's condition, the Nitroglycerin can be increased to 10mcg/mL and then up to 20mcg/mL. (DailyMed, n.d.). It is very important to.
